Hey!
I’m back with one must-start player at each position for Week 12. These are the guys you don’t overthink or get cute with.
Let’s get into it…
RB: Kenneth Walker
Walker reminded everyone what his ceiling looks like in Week 11, posting 18.6 fantasy points against one of the toughest run defenses in football.
Now he draws a Titans defense that’s getting gashed on the ground and allowing near-bottom production to running backs.
If you have Kenneth Walker, he’s locked into your lineup as a strong RB play this week.
QB: Brock Purdy
In his first game back from injury, Purdy picked up right where he left off, throwing 3 touchdowns and leading San Francisco to 41 points.
When this offense is healthy, Purdy consistently delivers efficient, multi-touchdown performances without needing massive volume.
Vegas projects a strong offensive output again in Week 12, and everything points to another QB1 performance. Start Purdy with confidence…
TE: Kyle Pitts
With Drake London out, Pitts becomes the clear focal point of Atlanta’s passing game.
We already saw what that looks like earlier this season when London missed time: heavy targets, reliable volume, and red-zone usage for Pitts.
At tight end, that role alone makes Pitts a top start this week.
WR: Alec Pierce
Pierce has quietly taken over as the Colts primary downfield weapon.
He’s stacking high target shares, dominating air yards, and consistently being used as the 1st read on explosive plays.
Now he enters a high-total game where Indianapolis is likely forced to throw. That sets up perfectly for his skill set and usage. He’s a strong WR play this week…
That’s it for Week 12. Make sure these guys are locked into your lineups.
